There are opportunities to go horseback riding almost everywhere in the Costa Rica, and climbing onto the back of a spirited equine can be a wonderful way to spice up your vacation. Though you might not associate it with a tropical country, Costa Rica has quite a cowboy culture. The tradition is primarily based in the province of Guanacaste, one of the first parts of the country to be settled by the Spanish, where vast cattle ranches cover rolling hills and forest-draped volcanoes tower above it all. Nevertheless, mountain resorts and nature lodges located all over the country offer horseback excursions, which can head through pastures, tropical forests, or down beaches, and often stopping at waterfalls and swimming holes.
Horseback tours are also excellent opportunities for bird watching and getting close to timid wildlife, and the people who lead them often have eagle eyes peeled for interesting critters.
The horses you will ride are the Criollo. They are of mixed breeding and many have the blood of the Spanish horses, which were brought from the Old World by the Conquistadors in the Sixteenth Century.
This horseback riding vacation tour brings you in the world of tropical rainforest, farmland of Costa Rica as well as beautiful beaches in different climate zones as there is 5 of them in Costa Rica.
